HR for Schools
Partnering with schools on strategic HR that delivers performance and reputation
Trailblazing schools put HR high on the agenda.
Why? Because they know it has a significant effect on everything.
When people talk about a school's reputation, they're really talking about the product of a school's HR.
School HR Over Time

The cost of replacing one teacher
in a school is approximately
$21,000 + 22 leadership hours
Middle leaders in schools are at the highest risk of resignation, and 60% leave because of a lack of career progression.
Enter ‘serious’ strategic HR as the way to attract and retain the talent you need for your school.
Schools have a fantastic opportunity to put in place the kind of HR infrastructure that makes them a magnet for talent and secures their reputation with prospective parents.
But we know it’s not always easy to do this, especially with everything else a school is expected to do, and especially if you’re lacking a dedicated in-house HR team.
We work as your HR partner.
We specialize in comprehensive HR customized specifically for your stage of development and local cultural context.
With a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by the education sector, we’re dedicated to helping schools optimize their HR processes, ensuring they have the right talent to foster a positive and productive learning environment for both staff and students.
The result of working with us? Fewer HR challenges in the short term, cost savings in the medium term, and a more resilient and agile staff in the long term. Ultimately, peace of mind for senior leaders.

About Veritas Wild
Veritas Wild was founded by Laura Mitchelson, a coach and consultant specializing in all things ‘people’, who is also a former teacher. Her previous roles include Director of Enrollment and Communications at Dwight School Hanoi, North Asia Managing Director for ICUnet, Leadership Consultant specializing in middle leadership programs, Secondary Language Teacher at Millfield School and Deputy Director of the China-Britain Business Council.
Laura believes that the areas of talent planning, staff experience, and performance management offer huge potential for schools hungry to grow in the coming decade. She set up Veritas Wild to work in whatever way a school needs at a budget level that works, and with a time commitment that feels manageable.
She also believes confidence and competence building at an individual and team level can be an unparalleled catalyst for positive organizational change on a large scale, and that there are hundreds of options for supporting career growth, many of which don’t need to cost much in terms of time and money. What’s required is competent, calm, creative HR.
